Try dnsaleprice.com - it keeps track of auction prices. For instance, 4
letter, 1-word .co.uk's sold in the last year shows 20 words or
almost-words, with decent words from $900-130000 and some other 4-letters
from $80-900. Sedo's search tools let you do similar, a 4 or less seatch
on there shows fixed-price domains available to buy, and also what others
are up at auction. It should at least put some hard boundaries on
your pricing even if it still leaves a wide margin.
